Bullous Type 2 Lepra Reaction: A Rare and Significant Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Bullous type 2 lepra reactions are a rare initial presentation in leprosy that can complicate the disease with vesiculo‐bullous lesions. Early recognition and differentiation from other bullous disorders are critical for timely corticosteroid and multidrug therapy initiation to improve patient outcomes.

Intracellular Mycobacterium leprae Utilizes Host Glucose as a Carbon Source in Schwann Cells

mBio, 2019
New approaches are needed to control leprosy, but understanding of the biology of the causative agent Mycobacterium leprae remains rudimentary, principally because the pathogen cannot be grown in axenic culture.

Analysis of DevR regulated genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
The DevRS two component system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for its dormancy in host and becomes operative under hypoxic condition. It is experimentally known that phosphorylated DevR controls the expression of several downstream genes in a complex manner.

Leprosy—Presenting as Rheumatoid Arthritis Misleading the Correct Diagnosis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Leprosy can present with symptoms resembling rheumatoid arthritis, leading to delays in diagnosis or inappropriate treatment, potentially progressing to lepromatous forms, neuropathy, and disability. Physicians must consider leprosy as a differential for rheumatoid arthritis, especially in endemic regions.

Elusive preferred hosts or nucleic acid level selection? A commentary on: Evolutionary interpretations of mycobacteriophage biodiversity and host-range through the analysis of codon usage bias (Esposito et al. 2016) [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
While confirming the long held view that viruses do not closely imitate the use of their host's codon catalogue, Esposito and coworkers nevertheless consider it surprising that, despite having the ability to infect the same host, many mycobacteriophages share little or no genetic similarity (i.e.

Örjan Ouchterlony and the antigen–antibody double diffusion‐in‐gel: a survey

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 1, January 2025.
The Swedish scientist Örjan Ouchterlony published four ground‐breaking papers 1948–1966 in Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand where he described a new method of antigen–antibody reactions in gel. He described and defined the ‘reaction of identity’ and ‘reaction of partial identity’ when he used related antigens and ‘reaction of non‐identity’ when he used non ...

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT The western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) is classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with an 80% decrease decline between 1990 and 2014. A major threat to its survival is the illegal trade in live chimpanzees (ITLC), a highly organized criminal activity with national and ...
